Device and method for measuring the dynamic interaction between bodies
First Claim
1. A device for measuring a dynamic interaction between a first and a second body by measuring power transfer from the first body to the second body, the device comprising a housing in which at least one kinematic sensor and at least one kinetic sensor are arranged, in addition to a processing means for processing signals which transmit data from the sensors, and a communication means for data exchange with a receiver which is not part of the device and is remotely located from the device.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device for measuring the dynamic interaction, in particular power transfer and work performed, between a first and a second body, in particular during relatively random movements. The device comprises a housing in which at least one kinematic sensor and at least one kinetic sensor is arranged, in addition to processing means for processing the signals from the sensors, and communication means for data exchange with the outside world. The invention also relates to a method for measuring the dynamic interaction between a first and a second body, and a carrier provided with a number of devices according to the invention.
